In the kitchen, injured and covered in gore?

[toesies]

... Honestly? I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I guess I must have passed out, and then I woke up somewhere else.

[alteracion]

Okay... [ that explains nothing. ] Where? And what happened there?

[toesies]

Don't know "where," exactly. But— it looked like a tetanus trap for giants? The furniture was bigger than all us combined, and so were the ones trying to kill us.

["Bigger than all of us," she says about a team of four shorties.]

[alteracion]

A tetanus trap...? So what, there was a lot of loose nails around? [ me realizing grace has not had a vaccine shot in a near decade and looking away, but she adds: ] What was trying to kill you?

[toesies]

Not nails, but it was pretty filthy.

[The true crime of that CYOA: no hygiene.]

They weren't giants, exactly? Not fee-fi-fo-fum style giants, anyway. But that's the only name I can come up with for them.

[alteracion]

Is there... a specific kind of giant? Aren't they just huge people?

[toesies]

Ohh, yeah. Fairy tale giants? Not as ugly as the bitches who tried to kill us today.

[alteracion]

[ huh. ]

So, did you kill them instead?

[toesies]

We had to. It was kill or be killed.

[alteracion]

I'm not judging! It's not like they were people.

[toesies]

Hey, you never know! Some people get mad for way less.

[alteracion]

Probably, but it's not like I'm part of a secret ugly giant protection squad around here, promise. So what happened next?

[toesies]

Well, killing the giants was the most memorable part.

[Just saying.]

We did have to work together to get around the giant furniture, though. And then we made our way up to an empty room, and... died? At least, it felt like we died. Blacked out and everything.

[alteracion]

[ hm ]

What.

[toesies]

What?

[alteracion]

You died?

[toesies]

Yeah? Don't ask why. I am trying my best with the descriptions, man.

[alteracion]

All four of you?

[toesies]

Uh-huh. We woke up in cages afterward. It was not great.

[alteracion]

In cages???

[ why does it keep getting WORSE ]

[toesies]

That is what I said, yes.

[alteracion]

So how did you get out?

[toesies]

Oh, the cages were unlocked. Once we figured that out, we just stepped on some weird markings on the floor and — that was it. That's when we showed up in the kitchen.

[alteracion]

So you just... nearly got eaten, killed some giants, died and came back?

[ what the fuck ]
